The UK government is setting up a long-term supplier list (called a Framework Agreement) for construction companies to do housing, renovation, demolition and remediation work across the UK. Once appointed, your company would be on their approved list and could be asked to bid for individual projects as they come up — similar to being pre-qualified before real work is offered.
Requirements
- Must be able to act as Principal Contractor (the main contractor in charge on site)
- Must be able to take on design responsibilities alongside construction work
- Must comply with all UK statutory and regulatory requirements (including health and safety, planning, building regulations)
- Must meet the funding body's requirements (varies by project but typically includes financial checks, insurance, qualifications)
- If bidding for Wales region only: can only bid for Lots 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12 (not housing or demolition lots, as these are already covered by the WPA New Homes for Wales framework)
- Must be capable of working on defence housing and secure environment projects (likely requires security clearance or vetting for some lots)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Design and build new residential housing developments from concept through to completion
- Retrofit and upgrade existing housing estates (energy efficiency, structural repairs, modernisation)
- Demolish buildings safely and responsibly, including hazardous material removal where needed
- Remediation works (environmental cleanup of contaminated land, asbestos removal, structural remediation)
- Enabling works (site preparation, utilities relocation, ground stabilisation) to prepare sites for development
- Defence housing construction and secure environment works (prisons, secure facilities — for approved contractors only)
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'framework' not a single project — you're not bidding for one job here. If selected, you join a pre-approved list and then compete for individual projects later. Read the full tender documents to understand how often you'll be asked to bid and what the process will be.
- 2The description mentions 'Lots' (Lots 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 for Wales) — this means the framework is split into different categories of work. Find the detailed lot descriptions in the full documents to see which types of work you can realistically do. Each lot may have different requirements.
- 3Pay close attention to the 'Principal Contractor' requirement — this means you must be the main contractor responsible for site management, safety, and design coordination. You cannot just be a subcontractor. Check if you have the management systems and insurance to cover this.
- 4The phrase 'compliance with relevant statutory, regulatory and funding requirements' is broad — it typically means CDM Regulations (health and safety), Building Regulations, planning conditions, and whatever standards the funding body (like Homes England) insists on. Confirm which standards apply to each lot.
- 5Wales bidders have restricted options — if you're based in Wales, you can only bid for 5 of the lots because housing and demolition work there is already handled by another framework. Make sure you're bidding for the right lots or you'll be rejected.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider a consortium or partnership bid — framework agreements often suit larger firms, so team up with other SMEs or a larger partner to share risk, management costs, and to cover different skills (e.g., one firm handles demolition, another does remediation). This makes your bid stronger and reduces your exposure.
- Don't bid for all lots if you can't credibly deliver them — select 2–3 lots where you have genuine experience and proven track record. Assessors will check references and past projects; weak bids across many lots are worse than strong bids on fewer lots. Quality over quantity.
- Budget for framework administration costs — being on a framework means compliance, insurance, regular audits, and bid preparation costs for each project you compete for. Build this into your pricing strategy because the framework itself doesn't guarantee work; you'll still have to win individual projects.
